hee... head light is not really bright
winter time / dark riding.. clean theme ones in a while
lots off work to keep headers like this over 55000 km — bij Twin Motorcycles Buell Support forever.
as the bike was brought in with problems, i started it for leak test but did run on 1 cylinder, front one did not fire — bij Twin Motorcycles Buell Support forever.
little trick for all XB 2008-2010 ( incl 1125 ) there is a clean spark mode programmed in the ecm. pull the trottle full and switch on the ignition, the ecm tells the coil to fire bought spark plugs for 4 secondes to clean theme, after i did this a few times the front cylinder started to fire, so a better leak test could be done, as it turned out the intake seals where leaking , in a big service not much extra work, so we will replace these right away — bij Twin Motorcycles Buell Support forever.
first on with the service, oil drain engine oil and gearbox — bij Twin Motorcycles Buell Support forever.

i want to clean and grease the pivots, take a little extra time on a Uly, but worth it imo, heat the pivot extenders with a heat gun, to break the loctite bond or you end up ruwening the screw heads — bij Twin Motorcycles Buell Support forever.
with a little heat they come out with ease — bij Twin Motorcycles Buell Support forever.
as i tought, nasty dry pivot — bij Twin Motorcycles Buell Support forever.
